A premier institute – the IIT – groomed Gopinath Chandra Das into a technocrat. Perhaps he was then expected to dive into some sort of cutting-edge research. But providence edged him out of mainstream science, and he found himself digging into books of the ancient Indians, the Vedas.

​So far he has spent 19 years in the monastery at Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Temple (ISKCON) situated in South Mumbai. As a Vedic Life Coach, he helps people improve the quality of their lives, and his background in science and technology helps him present the Vedas in a scientific light.

More recently, he has authored the self-help book “The Power of Karma Yoga” which is based on the teachings from the Bhagavad Gita.
